Vanessa,

Where did you get the windows 2.9.13 install from? Octave-forge? If so
then the latest communications package is already in the installer and
it is selected by default. Type "pkg list" and see if it is listed. Then
to really confirm it is there type "gf(1)"....

Note "cl" is the Microsoft Visual Studio linker and the error means that
you don't have MSVC installed. Look at the README that came with the
installer. This is explained there...
